Note: The conference was probably announced as 8th edition because the previous editions of the “Summit” and “Academy” have been counted together. There is no evidence that there was a series of summit events in Dubai before 2012. The conference was probably cancelled because afterwards the “Summit” in Singapore and “Academy” in South Africa continued its numbering without counting in this Dubai summit.
